Anyway! Today, Lauren, Sarah, Andrew, and I went to a tennis court and played! Yes, in this burning hot weather...

I hadn't played tennis in like, oh, who knows how many years. It had been forever.

Let's just say I was slightly rusty. I hit the fence countless times, and threw my racket in the air twice. I'm not sure if it was the tennis playing or the ball chasing that gave me my exercise for the day.

I haven't been on here much! Not posting, not commenting, not anything. And I'm really sorry. I have no excuse, I just haven't been on here.

Today, my mom and I went to LensCrafters! After wearing the same pair of glasses for 6 years, it was time for a new one. I couldn't see a thing.

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy going to the eye doctor! There's something strangely cool about reading letters to see how bad your eyes are and then them puffing air into your eyes. The only part that's hard is when they stick lenses in front of you in some machine asking you which one looks better... they kinda look the same!

So, my eyes were much worse than I thought! My prescription changed 150%! Can I hear a 'whoa'?

Yeah, I was surprised too! My glasses suddenly got a lot thicker!

Left, old glasses. Right, new glasses.

Overall, the day was really nice. I had subway for lunch, a Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble Frapp for a chiller, got new glasses, and took my earrings out.

YAY!! My earring were finally able to come out!!! I put in another pair of studs, just because they are still a little sore, and I didn't want to wear danglies yet.

Sorry for the odd position, I was trying not to get a glare in my glasses.

They didn't bleed (YAY!), but it did kinda hurt getting them out. The back wouldn't come off. I pulled, and loosened it, but they just wouldn't budge! So I went to Lauren. She tugged a little, then YANK!! Wish you could have seen the look on my face. OW!!!

Okay, first off, I'm still just totally blown away. On my birthday, I received emails, e-cards, chats, and even blog posts. I want to thank every one of you who wished me a happy birthday! THANK YOU!!! :)

Now, for pictures!

Don't ask why most of the party pics are in sepia. My sister took them. :)

We had hamburgers, potato salad, deviled eggs, baked beans, and a few other things.

Getting a card from my 5 year old sis Mary. Notice the sports stickers :) Yay!

I should add that my hair stylist is Sarah :) Thanks girl!

My new Ipod touch!

I LOVE Jello Cake :D

Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!

Jewelry from my grandparents :)

These are actually silver, not red. I was shooting with a red camera lol!

See this last necklace? Has a story with it.

So my sweet brother gave me this little bag on my party night. My family, my grandparents, and my great-grandma were all watching me open it. I found a little a jewelry box inside the bag. I was thinking "Oh yay!" (I love jewelry). But when I opened the box, there wasn't anything in it. I kinda looked up a little confused, and he goes "I thought you might want a box to put jewelry in," in the sweetest, most innocent voice ever. He looked serious.

I must say I recovered quickly... I started thanking him nonstop and saying how I needed a box for my jewelry and making a complete dufus of myself... when he pulled out a gorgeous necklace and earrings from his pocket as my entire family laughs. Brothers.

My present from my best friend!!!!! A poster!

Thanks again for the birthday wishes! I truly had a wonderful 13th birthday!!!

On warm evenings like this, I usually go outside with my camera and goof off.

Mary enjoying her new swing set!

I love being barefoot!

Suddenly, I got this crazy idea to take pictures-while riding a bike.

Yeah.

I once tried to take a video while iceskating. As I skated around the rink talking to my camera, I slipped and almost fell. The video is quite humorous to watch, though.

Anyway, I got the bike out of the garage.

I love the blue!

And so, I rode up and down the alley taking pictures in my right hand, and steering this huge blue monster with my left.

If the neighbors had been out, they probably would have stared a little. I mean, wouldn't you, if you saw a girl riding a bike that's too big for her, steering it with one hand, taking pictures in the other hand, and singing "Chattanooga Choo Choo"?

That's what I thought.

Then I went around front, to the hill. The hill is very fun to ride, but slightly bumpy. It's not the ideal spot to go down with only one hand steering.

My first thought was, "Nah, I better not."

My second thought was, "It'd be fun!"

I went with my second thought.

As I sped down the hill, my bouncy tire hit a large bump and my camera almost slipped right out of my hand. Let's just say I LOVE camera straps.
